#TGIFc12 Brand New

I must admit that when I first glimpsed this week's TGIF challenge I interpreted the theme as 'baby'.  Oops - the cue was actually to feature one of your favourite new products from the latest catalogue! Luckily I'd done this inadvertently - phew!!

The brand new Stampin' Up! catalogue was released last month and has just so many gorgeous new tempting goodies inside.  Needless to say I have a huge wishlist!  One of the first stamp sets I crossed off my list was the Silhouettes & Script hostess set - so many great sentiments.  For my design today I've featured the 'hello baby' stamp from this set, applying pink and orange tones with sponge daubers onto the stamp before stamping to achieve the multi-tonal image.

The wreath sitting in behind comes from the new Hello Baby set.  I've combined this with stamps from existing favourite set 'And Many More...' (to decorate the tag) and Zoo Babies (for that super cute giraffe).

Pop on over to TGIF challenges this week to join us for this wonderful challenge.  I can't wait to see all the designs this week but I'm a bit nervous seeing all your favourites products in action is going to make my list even bigger.
